PIN-PACKAGE.

` SPECIFICATION forming peri; ef Lettere Patent Ne..271,s2e, dated February e, 188e.

l v Applicationfiled September 19,1882. (No model.)

.pin-packages; and it consists in a package which is constructed of two or more rows of differentsized pins, the rows being made in a circular form, and having their ends either flush with each other or made in terraces of a circular form, as will be more fully described hereinafter.

Theobject of my invention is to provide a package for pins, in `which pins of different lengths can be kept, and thus enable ladies to have the different sizes of pins' that theyneed in a singlev package, instead of having to buy Ja package of each different size, as is generally" the case.

Figure 1 is a plan view of my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-section of thesame. Fig. ris a perspective of a modification.

A represents a pin-package, which is composed of a number of papers, B, of different wirltlis,leach width being -lled with pins cfa different length. The paper which forms the center ofthe package is made wider than any of the others, and will be filled with the largest pins which are generally needed in a family, while the paper next to it will be made some what narrower, and the outer one the narrowest one of them all. The central one of these papers is wrapped so as to forma round bundle or roll, and the other papers are then wrapped around this central roll. rIhe three e Y papers together form circular terraces, and thus separate each size of pins from the others, and in such a. manner as to allow each size to 45 be selected, even in the dark.

In case it should be desired to have the pins all on` the same level, instead of having each size form a terrace of its own, a suitable packing, D, will be placed between'eaeh p'aper of pins, and thus the sizes can be arranged in any desired relation to each other. The packings between the papers will form blankspaces, so as to indicate either to the eye or to the sense of feeling the different sizes.

Different-sized pins are needed in every family, and as those of one size always come in a paper by itself it is .necessary that a paper of each different size should be bought. By forming a package which contains different sizes, which are arranged in such a manner that they can be readily selected, all need forbuying a separa-te paper of each size is en V tirely done away with.

Having thus described my invention, I claimi A pin-package composed of two or more rolls of different sizes ot' pins, the different sizes being placed in terraces of acircular form, substantially asldescribed.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
